Denise Richards Web

When we think of Denise Richards, we think of her sexy “Wild Things” era, her Bond Girl days, and of course, her tabloid divorce from Charlie Sheen. But now, the 40-year-old mom happens to look hotter in a bikini than ever before.

We caught up with Denise, who just adopted a third daughter (Eloise Joni Richards, adopted domestically as a newborn and named after Denise’s late mother, Joni) and whose memoir, The Real Girl Next Door, comes out next month, to ask her what she wants women to learn from her public “heartbreak” — and how she keeps her abs looking washboard-flat.

SELFYStars: Your memoir is about your happier times with your ex-husband, Charlie Sheen. Why have you chosen to celebrate that moment? What do you hope other women will learn from your memoir?

Richards: I share a lot in my memoir from when I was a child until now. As far as my marriage, I do share the good memories but also get into my divorce. Not the details, more the feelings. Many women experience divorce and it is heartbreaking to go through. I’m hoping anyone who has gone through what I did will have hope that it does get better.

Denise Richards is ready to work.

The actress begins a five-episode guest stint as Debra, the ex-wife of football coach Marty Daniels (Ed Marinaro), on Spike TV’s raunchy comedy “Blue Mountain State” tonight at 11.

It marks the first time the mother of two (with ex-husband Charlie Sheen) has been on TV since her E! reality series, “Denise Richards: It’s Complicated,” ended in July 2009 after two seasons.

She and E! sometimes disagreed about the show’s direction.

“They would ask me to do stuff and I didn’t want to,” Richards told the Herald in a recent telephone interview from Los Angeles. “I wanted them to show my life – not show me pretending to do something. Otherwise, don’t promote it as a reality show,” she said.

Denise Richards is being kept busy these days. The sexy 31-year old is not only flat out promoting her new film, the farcical spy spoof Undercover Brother, but she is also busy planning her upcoming wedding to Charlie Sheen. Trying to be as tight-lipped as possible on the nuptials, Richards does concede that “it will be a small ceremony, not the big wedding I fantasized about when I was younger.” She has a date, but of course won’t reveal it during our interview, except to add admit that the wedding “will be happening this year and in Los Angeles.” The plans are going well with Denise happily supervising every facet of the wedding. “Thankfully, Charlie and I have agreed on just about everything.

We really like similar things, which make it much easier.

I think when couples when couples disagree on the band and the food, you have a little bit of a problem,” Richards laughingly adds. and she is happily balancing those plans with her high-profile professional life, avoiding the stress associated with the former. “I don’t want it to be stressful and even though sometimes it is hectic, I don’t want the wedding to be a frantic thing.

It should be a happy time and easy.” Richards won’t allow her private life to become media fodder, and says that she has learned how to balance the public and private aspects of her life. “It’s just keeping what I want private, private, and the same with Charlie.

We are both private people in the public eye.

Denise Richards breezes through the door in a dark fitted ensemble. Her trademark features – deep blue eyes, full pouty lips, flowing brunette locks (recite the rest yourself) – are stunningly apparent. One could not help but inquire about her fashion. “Dolce and Gabbana,” she says when asked who made her couture clothing. She then pulls down her jacket to check the inside tag. “I’m not sure what it’s made of, but I love leopard.” Richards is in demand for her contemporary American femme-fatale allure, but keeps up her figure with a non-specific diet. “I can’t eat whatever I want, and I definitely like to work out. But this morning for breakfast, I had M&M’s with my coffee.” She pauses, then adds, “and oatmeal too.”

Her stirring style helped her widespread success in 1998′s “Wild Things” and as nouveau Bond Girl in 1999′s “The World is Not Enough,” which made her a household name. She’s currently using her fame to fill her working palette with projects such as “Empire,” an independent film co-staring John Leguizamo and “The Third Wheel,” a romantic comedy distributed by Miramax and featuring Ben Affleck. In her most recent cinematic effort, “Valentine,” from Warner Brothers pictures, she co-stars with David Boreanaz and Marley Shelton as the wilder one in a group of friends being tormented by a cherub-masked murderer from their past.
